MTS Sensors adds digital output options to serviceable linear position sensors for hydraulic cylinders

MTS Sensors, a division of MTS Systems Corporation announced the expansion of its MH-Threaded externally installed magnetostrictive linear position sensors with the addition of popular CANBUS digital output formats including CANOPEN and J1939.

The MH-Threaded sensor is optimized for off-highway applications such as loaders, telehandlers, and aerial work platforms.

“MTS Sensors’ customers have seen a great deal of success with the analog output versions of the MH Threaded sensors, and the number one request has been to make a CANbus version available,” states Luka Korzeniowski, MTS Sensors’ Global Market Segment Leader. “The speed, flexibility, and reliability of CANbus has allowed it to rapidly evolve well beyond the automotive industry where it was first widely implemented to a growing number of off-highway applications. Today, MTS Sensors are delivering a version of the popular MH-Threaded sensor with CANbus digital outputs such as CANopen and J1939.”

“The MH Series sensors offer a robust alternative to contact-based linear sensors such as potentiometers - thereby prolonging the working lifespan,” continued Korzeniowski “The MH-Threaded sensor extends the rugged design of the Temposonics^® MH Series sensors to external threaded installations. The sensor can withstand harsh environments but still be serviced easily when needed.”
